Do you guys even read?? 480 does 50+ with the silentarmy kernel modded by nerdralph!! I even posted a screenshot of this! Yes, modded rom, but the same gpu's only hit 47 max! with your precious claymore miner... Btw, it even does 50 on a 390 nitro! Without fee! Open source!  Eliovp, we all know that but we use windows, don't you get that ?  I'm mainly referring to the Linux users here.. But yes, you have a point. There is no stable windows release yet. Let me personally try to change that this week. Greetings if that windows miner is released i'll test it too... and i'll encourage claymore to make my r9 390s do 100 sols  , so he can continue to bring life to competition and earn money. the way i see how claymore works is he tries to make the fastest etc.. etc.. best miner out there, if he made it there, he ask for a portion of the miners loot in form of "fee".. if free and open source miner is the best solution for a certain period of time i'll use it, the case is the same for paid miners. |

my case using zcashclient silent army to claymore zcash miner
280x from 25 to 45 sols
rx480 from 35 to 45 sols
r9 390 from 27 to 50 sols
290x from 30 to 50 sols
amd fury from 40 to 50 sols
is using this miner with 2.5% fee enticing enough for my case? i say yes..
it is still a challenge for the open source community to make zcash mining stable and optimized, specially for windows users..that day will come, but for now claymore is doing something others don't, and making money in the process.
i hope this issue right now gets sorted out.

Any pools available ?
none. it's still in premine mode...especially wth these noob accounts |
|
|
|
When wallet windows ready?
zcash don't have windows wallet so this clone don't have one either. |
|
|
|
|
not even a single pool? smells like premine

For anyone with Radeon 7950 / 7970 / 280X who wants more juice out of ZEC mining you can adjust your timings.
Mine went from 43 Sol/s ---> 52 Sol/s. Running at 1100 / 1575
THIS IS ONLY FOR HYNIX MEMORY H5GQ2H24MFR . I will post Elpida and Samsung memory types later.
Thanks for sharing . Plz share info for Elpida memory 280xs as it appier. Ive got some of them. I've modded some Elpida 280x before but I can't find them. If you search this forum, a few months ago someone made some optimized bioses for 380x and he posted the memory straps for the Elpida's. They are somewhere there. my 280x hynix memory is H5GQ2H24 AFRhow to identify memory code? i have 3 sapphire 280x toxic with hynix memory |

i have this two rx 480 with backplate connected directly at the motherboard, the one above the other is hotter of course, pointing a 90mm fan at the backplate reduced the temp by 2c of the one above...and i didn't watch the temp any longer, so i don't know the end result and didn't do longer observation.

99% it is just for looks, and gives some added protection.
1% is for reducing heat but I watched a video and it had little to no effect in reducing vram temps
I really like back plates though, they look awesome and reduces some fear when handing the card.
well, what if you blow air at the back plate? the vram heat sinks are connected to the back plate thru metal screws, i'm guessing in the video the air is still at the back plate. for us miners with multiple gpus, i believe back plates protects from shorting accidents that might happen in tinkering around rigs. specially for those who are lazy to turn off their rigs while troubleshooting. |

I took mine off the cards ran cooler so no idea really how to answer why some say it run better with it, mine run better with out it .
looking at my msi r9 390, the metal that serves as ram heat sink is screwed to the back plate to better dissipate heat from the rams, maybe some cards have it for looks, and some have it for heat dissipation. |

ever since i started gpu mining, i haven't used dummy plugs and i didn't bother reading what's causing the problem, because i don't have it lol
btw i have a monitor that i plug when remote troubleshooting is not possible, that's all.

Firstly, big thanks to Claymore for getting this great miner out to everyone! I know you mentioned that you still expect you can get better rates down the road but I think I am not alone in appreciation for you publishing this version now so we can mine more efficiently than other options currently available!
I have only read about half of this thread so sorry if I am repeating anything here but I did have a few observations and questions that I wanted to post.
- I have 4 MSI RX 470 4GB (strap 1500 mod, overclocked, undervolted) averaging between 40-42 Sols/s each using your miner. This is a vast improvement over the 13 I was getting using nicehash the last few days, so really appreciate the extra sols!
- I noticed that the power draw for this miner is much lower than your ETH Dual Miner. Even just solo mining ETH my rig was using ~625W at the wall, while your ZEC miner is only using between 400-450W! This of course increased the profit margin over ETH mining even more, which is great, but I have a question about the power consumption. Is it just that mining this coin is inherently less power-consuming than ETH? Or, does the much lower power draw mean that there is still a lot more headroom to work towards increasing Sols/s even more?
- Finally, after running your ZEC miner stably for about an hour this morning, I launched nicehash miner to use only its CPU ZEC mining function. Unfortunately, almost right at launch, it cut the Sols/s rate in your miner by about 25% on each GPU. Then after about 5 minutes, it crashed my system. Then crashed again after reboot, so I haven't tried it again. This seems a bit weird to me since I have used other CPU/memory intensive programs like Claymore Crytponote CPU to mine XMR and plotting & optimizing BurstCoin plots on HDDs and neither affected your ETH GPU miner.
Normally, I wouldn't even bother about CPU but this rig has an i7-6800k that was pulling 23 S/s, which equates to more than half of a GPU, so I hate to waste it idly. Anyone here been able to CPU mine ZEC with NH and GPU with Claymore successfully?
i7 3770 and 1x amd fury almost 11 hours stable now.. -t 6 ..win7 x64, 16.10.3 driver ~19 sols on cpu ~ 50 sols on gpu You're using Nicehash for your ZEC CPU mining? yes. nheqminer_v0.4b version use the nheqminer.exe github download link at nicehash "getting started" page nheqminer.exe -l stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357 -u zcashwalletaddress -p x -t 6 |

9 hours running stable here. had a nice worry free sleep.
if 7950's are doing 50 sols, just wait for claymore's updates he might bring more sols to 280x, 290/390 and 290x/390x

45 sols on 280x 50 sols on 390, 290x 50 sols on fury 45 sols on 480 all on stock I got 5 x 390 = 270sol/s per rig. So much for the 100 sols/s per 390 as promised by Claymore.... but I am not complaining, its very stable and all too familiar features like CDM and XMR miner. I think they will be a big movement from ETH miners in the next few days.... he says he can still improve the miner.. Good news: I'm going to release my ZEC miner in a few hours so all ZEC-related discussion will move to new thread finally Bad news: I was not reach 100h/s on 390 in this version. I'm going to improve speed, but people want to have miner asap so I will release it as is, about 50h/s on stock 390X. I don't like to hurry so further improvements will be added later. |

So now we all have same cards, will mine same amount of coins, just see different numbers but will mine 2.5% for Claymore also. And we are more happy than yesterday, right?
wise words my friend, that was my tought too i'm thinking we and claymore took a slice of profit from private miners and farms. i think if we got a miner that gives X amount of sols, then farms have miners that give 3X amount of sols well if we came from 0.5x and we reach 1x, it is still something, besides claymore says he can still improve this miner. |
